On 02/07/15 at approximately 2:35 am a Potter County Deputy conducted a traffic stop of a motor vehicle in the area of Western and Fairway. Shortly after making contact with the occupants, it was learned the passenger had an outstanding arrest warrant out of the Amarillo Police Department. A second Potter County patrol unit arrived on scene and the Amarillo Police Department was notified and summoned to take custody of the arrested party. While deputies were waiting the arrival of the APD, they heard multiple gunshots in the area of Hester and Hester, northwest of their location. Deputies reported hearing spent rounds flying in their immediate area, ricocheting rounds, and a dull thud. However, no vehicles and or muzzle flash was seen. Approximately 6 gunshots were heard as deputies took cover behind their vehicles. Deputies notified Potter County Dispatch of the gunshots and requested additional units to the scene to assist. After a short period, no additional gunshots were heard deputies began to inspect their units for damage. Deputies noticed the right rear window of one of the patrol units shattered and what appeared to be a single bullet impact point. During this same timeframe, deputies heard Amarillo Police units being dispatched to the area of Colonial Street on gunshots. Colonial street is in the area of Western and Fairway and deputies went to that location where they met with Officers of the Amarillo Police Department. There, deputies learned that a rear door of a residence had been broken out reportedly from a bullet. Deputies and APD Officers were able to establish trajectory of the bullet entering the home and estimated the origin to be in the area of Hester and Hester, northwest of the damaged home. Deputies went to the Hester and Hester intersection where they recovered some evidence. Presently there are no suspects and the investigation is ongoing. The public is encouraged to contact Amarillo Crime Stoppers at 374-4400 or the Potter Sheriff`s office.

Xcel Energy, Amarillo Crime Stoppers target copper theft

Partnership seeks assistance solving Amarillo-area cases

AMARILLO, Texas – Xcel Energy has joined forces with Amarillo Crime Stoppers to stop the crime of copper theft, a growing problem that threatens public safety and can drive up the cost of electricity.

Criminals have become more brazen in their attempts to remove copper from power lines and power substations as the price of copper has risen. When these thefts involve ground wires, Xcel Energy personnel and members of the public can be seriously injured by stray current. And the damage from these thefts can lead to service interruptions and expensive damage to critical electrical facilities, which can increase electricity costs for area customers.

“We have seen an increase in copper theft across our Texas and New Mexico service area, and particularly in HutchinsonCounty northeast of Amarillo,” said Chris Shelton, protection services consultant for Xcel Energy in Amarillo. “One of the best ways to counter this crime is to seek information from area residents in apprehending these criminals and preventing further crimes.”

Xcel Energy is partnering with Amarillo Crime Stoppers to help fund a coordinated effort to obtain information leading to arrests and convictions of copper thieves, not only in Amarillo but in surrounding counties. This is made possible by a supplemental reward contract between Xcel Energy and Amarillo Crime Stoppers, Inc. Cpl. Sean Slover of the Amarillo Police Department and coordinator of the Amarillo Crime Stoppers program, said solving and preventing copper thefts not only protects the public from electrical accidents, but also helps remove criminals from the streets who tend to be involved in other criminal activity.

“In many cases, proceeds from stolen copper are supporting other criminal activities such as the illegal drug trade,” Slover said. “Amarillo Crime Stoppers is glad to lend our resources to this fight if our efforts also will help solve and prevent other serious crimes.”

Amarillo Crime Stoppers provides rewards for tips that lead to the identification and arrest of criminals, and is extending these rewards specifically to citizens of the Texas Panhandle who help solve crimes involving stolen copper from electrical facilities. Rewards through the Xcel Energy-Amarillo Crime Stoppers partnership have been increased to a combined amount of up to $5,500 for Xcel Energy-specific crime locations. Area residents with information on copper theft incidents at Xcel Energy facilities can contact Amarillo Crime Stoppers at (806) 374-4400 or submit anonymous tips using the link below the photos.The Amarillo Crime Stoppers, Inc board members vote for the amount to be paid for any tip that solves/clears an unsolved case.
